Abstract
Objectives: To determine if published figures on the proportion of articles included in systematic reviews and identified in electronic databases are applicable to an example from medical imaging.
Methods: A systematic review was performed. Additionally, sensitivity and precision of a MEDLINE search were compared with values from three published searches, each customized for a specific field.
Results: All articles included in the systematic review were in electronic databases. The MEDLINE search had low precision compared with searches in other fields.
Conclusions: in a specific area of medical imaging, electronic databases, including MEDLINE, are reliable sources of articles.
